Dehumidifiers are incredibly useful devices, especially in rooms which are frequently exposed to steam, or in any room which should be protected against mildew. While an air conditioner can serve the purpose of a dehumidifier, there are machines more geared solely toward the express purpose of taking moisture out of the air. Many dehumidifiers are dessicatives, using a dessicant, or drying, material such as silica to literally suck water from the air, but there are also mechanical dehumidifiers as well. By following these simple tips and spending a little bit of time doing your homework first, you can find a dehumidifier which will improve the atmosphere of your home or business without straining your wallet.
First you will need to determine which models of dehumidifier are out there which are within the price range you set. You can do this research online, or by looking through consumer magazines such as Consumer Reports. Make a list of the manufacturers who seem reliable, and the models you might be interested in which are both affordable as well as dependable.
Your house or office size will play a large role in determining which types of dehumidifiers will be appropriate. Measure the square feet of your home, and check out dehumidifier manufacturers’ websites, or check to see the the manufacturer has any available charts at your local hardware store. Most dehumidifier manufacturers have charts or guides which help match the area of a building with certain models of dehumidifier.
With this chart, see if the models you have picked out are appropriate for both size and price range. Remember that you will probably be running your dehumidifier more often during certain times of the year, so you will want to factor in your predicted energy bill, as well as any other special features when factoring out the price of a dehumidifier.
Look up the Efficiency Factor, also known as the EF, of the dehumidifier. This measure will tell you how much electricity and water the dehumidifier will go through. Also note whether or not you will have to manually empty the dehumidifier periodically, or if it automatically disposes of the water on its own.
